You may not have realized this but you will be missed. I have good memories of you . I always felt close to you when i still lived at moms. I know you thought different then most and so did i. U may not remember but i remember going to hillside and being terrified and u bringing me a package of double stuffed oreos and a dokken tape. It meant the world to me. Im sorry you suffered in the end and you felt like no family cared. Rest in piece bill. heather
